I was baptized Seton, forever to associate me with the noble foundress of the American parochial school system and the white winged Sisters, her daughters and my name's perpetuator. I lovingly obey Christ's command, WTeach the Gospel to all people.n Christ was born in a stable. I was born in a carri- age-house. My birth was lowly, but how holy was my dedi- cation, for Christ is my cornerstone Whom I have not re- jected. My past was humble -- but how proud my presentg how glorious my future! As Saint Joseph stood beside the manger and watched God's little Son grow in age and in grace, so men of vis- ion like Bishop Walter A. Foery and Monsignor Alexis Hopkins kept vigil as I grew. I am the product of their strong determination and their stronger faith. My small two-room frame became within three years a masterful piece of architecture -- impressive, modern, beautiful, wrapped in panes of cerulean blue -- the color of Mary's own mantle. Now, as I expand materially, my children profit by intellectual and spiritual increase. They number 212. I am their mother as truly as God is their Father.

If stone and mortar could weep, I should weep to see them leave me forever, for they are my first-born who cherished me through troubled beginnings. They would also be tears of happiness and pride, for I am the realization of dreams. Many young souls think that I were prepared to attend classes any inconvience and discomfort in order to have known the blessings of parochial education. Now, their younger brothers and sisters and generations of Setonites to come will tell their children of the happiest days of their lives spent within my maternal confines. Without the loyalty and the efforts of their par- p In ents, I should never have seen the dawn of my existence. I was costly, yet self-forgetting men and women sacri- ficed much and pledged S225,000 that their children might become my children. I shall be grateful to them as long as I stand. I shall fufill all I am the shrine in which God Him ' 85 -'?E'?'CA Tse ER was born too late. They in basements, to endure their hopes for me. For s I ,- self deigns to teach.
